And I still remember goi...You and me both, sister!<br /><br />And I still remember going over to drink at the "Colored" water fountain in Rosenblum Levy's in Rocky Mount, and having a store manager quickly intercept me, warning about the "germs" that would be there for my delicate (white) lips (but I'm paraphrasing, of course).<br /><br />I also remember telling him that that was crazy because we were all "just people."<br /><br />And that all men were created equal.<br /><br />In the 50's.<br /><br />Whenever my family shopped there again, we were accorded a certain deference (or at least that's how I defined the new attitude).<br /><br />Love love love your blog.<br /><br />May I blogroll you?<br /><br />S<br /><br /><i>I grew up in the era of Jim Crow when segregation was the norm. White Only and No Colored Allowed signs were as common as traffic signs. All businesses were legally allowed to discriminate, to deny goods and/or services based on the color of the consumer's skin.</i><br /><br />P.S.

If you go ...Why do we make things complex, sigh... If you go into a bar, there is often a sign that says we refuse the right to refuse service to anyone - and that is right as long as it is not DISCRIMATORY. That is the law!

We have so much--so very much--to worry about these days; it angers me deeply to see racists, fools, subversives, and anarchists bleed off our energy and scatter our focus. The Civil Rights Act is the law of the land and does not require Mr. Paul's interpretation. <br /><br />And his announcement that his name has nothing to do with Ayn Rand, whose personal history speaks volumes louder than her novels, was a masterpiece of disingenuousness and shallow staging (I know you'll believe me if I wear my scrubs!)Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-24829057300445069062010-05-23T02:36:13.632-04:002010-05-23T02:36:13.632-04:00Wow, Sheria, Rand Paul said business owners should...Wow, Sheria, Rand Paul said business owners should be allowed to refuse goods or services to black people? That's plain insane and cruel, with no basis, as I don't even need to state. Of course, I'm sure the average Tea Party Movementer doesn't agree with Rand Paul. Not that that doesn't make Paul's statement hurt any less. I am going to do what I can to make sure he doesn't get support in the election, as he is violently hurting a group of people...
